AN ORDER WITH STRING TO 1T.
1t is the general belief that the order of Su-
perintendent Colbert, on Tuesday evening, that
the laws against gambling and liquor-selling
must be enforced was simply for the purpose of
shielding the commissioners from criticism. It
is said that the officers of the force were told be-
forehand that such an order would be issued.
but that it was not to be enforced, and the pa
trolmen have been given to understand it that
way. At any rate the saloon keepers are not
worrying any. and are frank to say that they
will not be disturbed. It is furthermore said,
by those who know. that the pretended warfare
upon the gamblers is done to make a record the
keepers OF the houses arrested having been no.
titled that the raid was to be made, in order to
give them chance to have the crowd awav
When the law is enforced against the saloon
keepers and the biggest milling establishments
in the city the people will begin to believe that
Messrs. Holt and Pendleton are acting in good
faith.
